First of all- did you take the Plan B before you started the BC? How long ago was that? How long have you been taking the BC?

Well, putting hormones into your body is always going to screw with it right in the beginning. Feeling poopy is normal.

But, you've thrown in a monkey wrench...that Plan B is going to alter your cycle a little bit. Spotting, heavier period, period sooner than expected, feeling kind of poopy...all of these things may (and probably WILL) happen. I'm glad you took the Plan B- but now you'll just have to wait out the side effects (listed earlier). In fact, nausea could be a direct side effect of the Plan B.

Your body is simply adjusting...don't worry. What I would do is keep taking the pills as directed.
